Compute the age of a basalt rock sample from the Moon containing 6 grams of Uranium-235 (parent isotope) and 42 grams of Lead-207 (daughter isotope). This rock is from a complex crater flooded with lava. The half-life of Uranium-235 is 704 million years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Age of rock = 21112000000 years

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the original material to decay or it is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

The ratio of parent isotope, Uranium-235 to daughter isotope, Lead-207 = 6 : 42 = 1 : 7

This means that for every one gram of the parent isotope, there are 7 grams of the daughter isotope. So,the quantity of radioactive material left is one out of eight its original value.

Number of half-lives undergone for 1/8 of the original value to to remain is given below:

1/8 = 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2

Therefore, number of half-lives = 3 half-lives

Age of rock = half-life of Uranium -235 × number of half-lives

The half-life of Uranium-235 is 704 million years = 704000000

Age of rock = 704000000 × 3

Age of rock = 21112000000 years

200g of water at 90degree Celsius is mixed with 100g of water at 30 degree Celsius. What is the final temperature (C of water =4.2jkg-1 k-1​

Answers

Answer:

70 °C

Explanation:

Since heat lost by 200 g of water = heat gained by 100 g of water

-mc(T - T') = m'c(T - T")

where m = 200 g,T' = 90°C, m' = 100 g,T" = 30°C and T = final temperature of mixture, c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.2jkg-1 k-1​.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

-mc(T - T') = m'c(T - T")

-200 g(T - 90 °C) = 100 g(T - 30 °C)

(T - 90 °C) = 100 g(T - 30 °C)/-200 g

(T - 90 °C) = -0.5(T - 30 °C)

T - 90 °C = -0.5T + 15 °C

collecting like terms, we have

T + 0.5T = 90 °C + 15 °C

1.5T = 105 °C

T = 105 °C/1,5

T = 70 °C

Compare and contrast the structure and function of DNA and RNA.
▪ Identify the bases used in DNA and RNA and how they pair – classify
each as a purine or pyrimidine

Answers

Answer:

DNA has a double- helix structure which means it has two strands. The DNA strands are made from sugar (Deoxyribonucleic), phosphates and nitrogenous bases. There are 4 nitrogenous bases, 2 purine and 2 pyrimidine. The 2 purine bases are Adenine and Guanine. The pyrimidine bases are Thymine and Cytosine. DNA gives our genes.

RNA is a single strand unlike DNA. The strands are made from sugar (ribonucleic), phosphate and the nitrogenous bases. There are 4 nitrogenous bases 2 purine and 2 pyrimidine. The 2 purine bases are Adenine and Guanine. However, the 2 pyrimidine bases are Uracil and Cytosine. The function of RNA is to contribute to releasing proteins based on our rRNA and tRNA and mRNA. This process is known as RNA and transcription.

what are basics of fungi​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Fungi are heterotrophs and, like animals, obtain their carbon and energy from other organisms.

Answer:

Fungi are a kingdom of mostly microscopic organisms that are closely related to animals. They include spore-producing organisms such as mushrooms, yeast, and molds. Fungi are almost always invisible to the naked eye. Fungi are made up of masses of tubular filaments called hyphae that penetrate and absorb nutrients from the substrates on which fungi grow. Some fungi have extensive networks of hyphae that enable the fruiting body of the fungi to grow very large, such as many species of the shelf, or bracket, fungi

Answers

Answer:

Unicellular prokaryotes that live in dust: Eubacteria

Unicellular eukaryotes that line in pond water: Protista  

Multicellular eukaryotes that live all over the planet and consume food: Anamalia  

Unicellular prokaryotes that live in volcanic ash: Archaebacteria  

Multicellular eukaryotes that have cell walls and are heterotrophic: Fungi  

Multicellular eukaryotes that have cell walls and are autotrophic: Plantae

Explanation:  

Prokaryotic organisms can be classified into two groups: Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. Eubacteria (i.e.,“true” bacteria) are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms that live in normal environmental conditions. On the other hand, Archaea (Archaebacteria) are prokaryotic older organisms that thrive in extreme conditions (in this case, volcanic ash). Moreover, eukaryotic organisms can be classified into four kingdoms: Protista, Plantae, Fungi and Animalia. Protista are unicellular eukaryotes that live in different aquatic environments (i.e., oceans, ponds, streams, etc). Animals are multicellular, mobile, heterotrophic (i.e., organisms that cannot produce its own food) organisms whose cells lack walls. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that acquire their food by absorbing dissolved organic compounds, whose cells have cell walls (but they lack chloroplasts). Finally, plants are multicellular autotrophic (i.e., organisms that produce their own food) organisms whose cells contain walls and chloroplasts (to produce food by photosynthesis).

Animalia

Fungi

Identify the bonds formed between RNA nucleotides by RNA polymerase.

A. Ester
B. Glycosidic
C. Peptide
D. Phosphodiester​

Answers

Answer:

D. Phosphodiester​

Explanation:

Just as the DNA polymerase serves as a catalyst in the replication of the DNA, so does the RNA polymerase speed up the formation of the RNA. RNA polymerase performs its function of linking nucleotides when the phosphodiester bonds are formed in the 5' to 3' sequence. Nucleoside triphosphate precursors such as the Adenosine triphosphate, Cytosine triphosphate, and Guanosine triphosphate serve as the substrates that allow the formation of the RNA molecule.

When the RNA polymerase unwinds the double helix structure of the DNA found before the active site where the polymerization will occur, substrates can then pair themselves in a complementary form.
